An optical spark-chamber counter experiment at Adone, the Italian colliding electron-positron ring, has succeeded in measuring the cross-section for the process e+e−→p\(\bar p\) near threshold (Ec.m.=2.1 GeV). The result isσ(e+e−→p\(\bar p\))=(0.91±0.22) nb.
ISOTROPIC ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION ASSUMED.
With an apparatus slightly improved with respect to a previous one we have studied multihadronic production at the Adone e + e − storage ring up to a maximum center of mass energy of 3 GeV.

We have measured the total cross section for electron-positron annihilation into three or more hadrons, with at least two charged particles in the final state. The measurement was made at a center-of-mass energy of 4 GeV with a 2π−sr nonmagnetic detector. With 88 events detected, we obtain a model-independent lower limit on the hadron production cross section of 9.6 ± 1.4 nb; a calculation of detection efficiency based on invariant phase-space production of pions leads to a total cross section of 26 ± 6 nb. This cross section is 4.7 ± 1.1 times the theoretical total cross section for e+e−→μ+μ−. The average charged multiplicity is n¯=4.2±0.6.

The results of an experiment performed at Adone, the 2×1.5-GeV e+e− Frascati storage ring, are presented. During ∼ 1500 hours of running time a total of 5164 electron-positron elastic scattering events (integrated luminosity L=3.5×1035 cm−2) and 605 noncoplanar events from the reaction e+e−→a±+b±+anything (effective integrated luminosity L=2.5×1035 cm−2) have been collected at c.m. energies ranging from 1.4 to 2.4 GeV. Over the energy range explored (1.4-2.4 GeV), corresponding to an average q2 ranging from 0.8 to 2.4 (GeV/c)2, the yield of wide-angle (60°<θ<120°) electron-positron elastic scattering events is found to be in good agreement with the predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED) (R=σexpσQED=1.05±0.04). The noncoplanar events appear to be of a hadronic nature and are produced with a much higher cross section than predicted on the basis of ρ, ω, φ dominance at these energies. The total cross section for the reaction e+e−→a±b±+anything shows a rapid increase to ∼ 90 nb between 1.0 and 1.5 GeV and falls off slowly to ∼ 50 nb at 2.4 GeV. Cross sections for some of the channels contributing to this multihadron process (e+e−→π+π−π+π−, e+e−→π+π−π+π−+neutrals, e+e−→3π+3π−) have been determined and are reported.

THIS HADRON PAIR CROSS SECTION PROVIDES ONLY AN UPPER LIMIT TO THE PION FORM FACTOR ABOVE 1.5 GEV SINCE KAON PRODUCTION IS NOT DISTINGUISHED.
Data were taken at the energy 2 E = 990 MeV to search for multibody events, with the same large solid angle detector which has been used for the measurement of the ϱ , ω and φ production by e + e − annilations. Assuming a π + π − π 0 π 0 production by the quasi two-body process e + e − → ϱ → ωπ 0 we give the correspondi ng cross section σ (e + e − → π + π − π 0 π 0 ) = (1.1 ± 0.5) 10 −32 cm 2 . Since no events with 3 and 4 charged pions have been observed σ (e + e − → π + π − π 0 π − ) ⩽ 1.5 × 10 −33 cm 2 .

A large solid angle detector has been used to observe two body events produced by electron-positron collisions in the Orsay storage ring. From the π + π − excitation curve in the ϱ region we have deduced the amplitude and the phase of the ω-ϱ interference, and the ϱ resonance paramaters: M ϱ = (775.4±7.3) MeV, Γ ϱ = (149.6 ± 23.2) MeV, √ B ( ω → π + π − ) = 0.19 ± 0.05, φ = (85.7 ± 15.3) 0 , σ ( e + e − → ϱ ) = (1.00 ± 0.13) μ b at S = M ϱ 2 , B ( ϱ → e + e − = (4.1 ± 0.5) × 10 −5 , Γ ( ϱ → e + e − ) = (6.1 ± 0.7) keV, ( g ϱ 2 /4 π ) = 2.26 ± 0.25, ( g ϱππ 2 /4 π ) = 2.84 ± 0.50.

Multihadronic production has been observed at the Adone e + e − storage ring, in the c.m. energy range 1.4 - 2.4 GeV. The cross sections for the reactions e + + e − → 2 π ± + nπ o (1 ⩽ n ⩽ 4) and e + + e − → (4 π ± + nπ ± ) (0 ⩽ n ⩽ 2) have been measured, assuming that the produced particles are only pions with a pure phase space momentum distribution.
